Once I was a TV lover when I was younger,I sometimes enjoyed the interview programs for writers,musicians, and TV personalities.

Of course. some of them were junk, but I still remember what they talked about in the short time if the contents were worth listening to.

One young female writer said that her teacher told her she had to read dictionaries so that she could have a more extensive vocabulary,"Dictionaries are not only for looking up the meanings of words but,acquiring the skills to write."What he said awakened her to the different way of using dictionaries.

Suddenly winter-like weather has arrived after a short lovely season ,although it's still technically autumn until November 7.The season's first snow fell in the mountains yesterday.

I remember that my son's school closed classes temporarily because of the HINI flu epidemic at the end of October last year, a lot of people wanted to buy masks, but they were sold out at most of the shops, I felt the phenomenon was abnormal.

Around that time my son went to a playhouse to see "The Phantom of the Opera" with his classmates in the city, and he had to wear a mask inside the theater.

Today my son was able to skip school officially and we went to one of the city hotels where an award ceremony was held.Students at the ceremony received a prize for excellence in scholarship and attitude towards life.

There were hundreds of people in the hall,from private high schools, private vocational schools,and teachers who contributed to the development of those schools.But there were only 19 junior high school students in all the prefecture including my son.

Compared to public school students, the number by ratio is low, but I still took it as an honor when he was elected as one of them.
